My First Marathon

Mugen910 · 10-23-2008, 08:19 PM

I've completed 5 1/2 marathons and one Reach The Beach relay race. I haven't ran in a while but I think I'll be ramping up for this years Boston.

Just make sure you are tapering and relaxing this week along with extra carbs. Believe in your training and don't start out too fast. Believe me when I say that you'll want to with all the excitement. It's a marathon...not a race...this is your first so keep in mind finishing is a great accomplishment.

Best of luck to you buddy. Let us know how you feel after!

Oh and after accomplishing such a feat I would suggest a 1980's Davidoff!

I definitely will. 1980s Davidoff huh? Never smoked any kind of Davidoff. I may try to locate one upon my return.

Good luck

I just finished my first marathon on Oct. 5th. It was a great experience. 6 months ago I couldn't run 2 miles. Trust your training and find your pace. I recommend getting a great night sleep two days before your race, it's more important than the night before. Have fun

I wish you well!

I am an old fat man... only way I'm doing a marathon is if they make a 13 mile buffet line (I would hit both sides for the full 26 miles.

)

Best wishes. I have never ran a marathon but I have done a handful of 10 and 15 kms. I also did a half marathon a few years back but everytime I try to be set to do a full marathon it falls through, someday I hope to. When your out there and it feels like your body is done just stay focused on keep moving. I am sure it will be awesome. Try to post a pic for before/afterwards.
